If you really are opposed to laying out in the sun (I tan pretty easily, but see waaaay too many people my age forming wrinkles—and I'm 22!—so I usually rock an SPF30) but still want a tan, spray tanning is actually pretty easy. Make sure you're taking care of your skin before you do it. Get enough water, moisturize, exfoliate, etc. Half the time people turn orange or streak it's because their skin is too dry.

If I'm getting a spray tan from a machine, I will ONLY use the Mystic brand, and then their MyTan machines. Make sure you get the kind that goes on clear, because that bronzer stuff just looks nasty. Also, don't get sprayed right before your event if you're worried about being too tan. Go like two days before, just to ensure 1)you're used to it and 2)if it does come out orangey for some reason, it has time to fade. If you take care of your skin it should last about 10 days or so.

You could also always get someone to airbrush you; when a person is in control of the color thing you're less likely to become a tangerine.
